Bad Hair Day Fix — The Half-Bun

We've all been there: you wake up late with no time to shower and the sudden realization that today is just not the day for your hair. Or, you know, you're just too lazy to style it for a half-hour. No matter what the scenario is, we've all had days when we just don't want to deal with our hair.

So what's a girl to do? One of my favorite trendy solutions as of late? The half-bun.

It's exactly what it sounds like; you take half of your hair and tie it up in a tiny bun. The half-bun is the perfect fix for a bad hair day because it works best with some second-day hair texture.
